Chapter 870: What a Smart Guy
"You guys!" Kogoro Mori raised his right hand angrily.
Seeing this, Dr. Agasa quickly grabbed him and advised: "Okay, okay, brother Maori, I see that the four of them are reflecting on themselves. Besides, there are others here too!"
Seeing this, Qing Musong went up to the four little ones and said, "If you really want to go out and play next time, you can tell us. We're not against it, but you must not run out alone, okay? Otherwise, everyone will be really worried."
"Got it..." Sayuri and the other three said apologetically with their heads lowered.
Mao Lilan stepped forward to thank the kind-hearted person who sent the little ones back: "Thank you so much for sending them back."
The kind-hearted man smiled and said, "No, don't say that. I just happened to come to the hotel for something."
Mao Lilan smiled and said, "So that's how it is..."
"Then I'll excuse myself first." The kind-hearted man said as he walked into the hotel.
"Okay, thank you so much this time." Mao Lilan saw this and quickly said to the four little ones: "Okay, you guys should also thank me quickly."
"Thank you uncle for your help..." After hearing what Mao Lilan said, Sayuri and the other three said in unison as they looked at the man who walked straight inside.
Seeing this, the man stopped, turned around and said to them, "Don't make us worry anymore." Then he pushed the door and walked into the hotel without looking back.
"Yes!" the three little Sayuri girls responded.
"Come on, everyone, let's go inside quickly. You must be frozen." Seeing this, Mao Lilan also called Sayuri and the other three to go into the hotel. After all, it was too cold outside.
"Well, I thought I was going to freeze to death?" Mitsuhiko said fearfully.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Tai immediately complained, "Who suggested riding a snowmobile?"
"It's Genta!" Mitsuhiko, Ayumi and Sayuri said in unison.
Aoki Matsu also followed the little ones in.
But when they entered, they saw someone they knew sitting on the sofa next to them.
"Ah, it's the nurse during the day." Ayumi said, pointing at a young woman.
The other party also heard Ayumi's words and waved at her.
Then Ayumi and the other three immediately ran over.
"Oh, it's true." Mitsuhiko said.
Yuan Tai followed up by saying, "Thank you for what you did just now."
The other party looked at the four little ones and said with a smile: "Good night, how is your stomach now?"
Yuan Tai touched his belly and laughed, saying, "It's all right!"
"Because Yuanta has an iron stomach." Sayuri complained.
At this time, Conan and Aoki Matsu, who were following the four little ones, found the two men they had met by chance in the office opposite the sofa where the nurse was sitting.
Suddenly, the black-skinned man with spiky hair looked at Maori Kogoro who was walking at the end, then stood up and asked hesitantly, "Um, may I ask, are you the famous detective Maori Kogoro?"
"Eh? Ah... cough cough!" Maori Kogoro was stunned at first, then he coughed twice, and said seriously with a little pride: "Yes, I am the famous detective Maori Kogoro!"
Hearing this, Dr. Agasa, who knew the details, looked at Kogoro Mouri with some amusement.
But the others sitting on the sofa were a little surprised and looked at Kogoro Mouri.
"That's right!" said the hedgehog-haired man.
It’s just that his expression is neither the surprise of a fan meeting his idol, nor the curiosity of a passerby meeting a celebrity.
Instead... he frowned slightly, looking a little nervous.
Aoki Matsu raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this.
"Excuse me, are you here to investigate a case or something?" the hedgehog-haired man asked somewhat unnaturally.
"Ha." Maori Kogoro scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "Not really..."
Mao Lilan replied: "We came here specially to participate in the snow festival."
Dr. Agasa also smiled and said: "No one will bring children to work."
The hedgehog-haired man's expression instantly relaxed when he heard that. He smiled and said, "Ah! That's true."
However, the gentleman-looking man with glasses sitting next to him curled his lips when he saw the hedgehog-haired man's reaction.
"Of course." replied Kogoro Mori.
"Oh my~ But I didn't expect to meet a famous detective in a place like this, right?" The man with glasses suddenly stood up and said to everyone: "Let me introduce you, the person sitting next to me is Yamao Keisuke."
After the man with glasses stood up, he turned to the other side. Yamao Keisuke heard what was said and nodded to everyone.
The man with glasses continued, "Sitting opposite me are Tono Mizuki and Tachihara Fuyumi."
Toono Mizuki and Tachihara Fuyumi also nodded.
Tachihara Fuyumi is the nurse sister that Ayumi mentioned.
And Toono Mizuki is the hotel receptionist that Conan had asked before.
The man with glasses said to the kind-hearted man who had just killed a few little ones, "He is Takehiko Muto."
Muto Takehiko also nodded.
"My name is Hikawa Shogo. We are all residents of the old Kitanosawa Village. Yamao and I came back from Tokyo specifically to attend the memorial ceremony." Hikawa Shogo took the initiative to introduce himself.
Mao Lilan looked at the others and said, "So, are you all childhood playmates?"
Tachihara Fuyumi smiled and replied, "Yes, we were classmates in elementary school."
Upon hearing this, Muto Takehiko added: "That being said, there are only five of us in the entire grade in our village's branch school."
When these words were spoken, the little ones were shocked.
Yuan Tai asked in shock: "There are only 5 people!"
"Yeah, that's right." Hikawa Shogo said with a smile, and then sat down again. "We haven't been together for 8 years."
"Eight years?" Mitsuhiko said excitedly, "This reunion must be very touching!"
Conan frowned slightly when he heard this: "But why haven't we met in these eight years?"
"Hmm? Ah... That's why." After hearing what Conan said, Hikawa Shogo looked at Yamao Keisuke who was sitting next to him with a playful look in his eyes, then took out a newspaper and unfolded it to everyone, "That's why!"
All I saw on the newspaper was: Kitanosawa Village hit-and-run suspect Yamao Keisuke.
Seeing this, Aoki Matsu looked at Hikawa Shogo, another smart guy!
The faces of the people sitting on the sofa suddenly turned bad.
Tachihara Fuyumi looked at Hikawa Shogo and said, "Why did you take it out, Hikawa!"
After Suzuki Sonoko recognized the words on the newspaper, she said in surprise: "That is..."
"Eight years ago, this guy who lived in Tokyo was on his way to the old village where his grandmother lived alone. He was drunk at the time and hit someone on the road." Hikawa Shogo put away the newspaper and continued, "The guy was scared at the time, and abandoned the girl's body and fled directly back to the village. After a few hours, he finally thought it through and ran to the police to surrender."
Conan was a little surprised when he heard this. "You're going to turn yourself in?"
Yamao Keisuke nodded and said, "Yes, after all, the car was crashed like that, I don't think I can get away with it." So he went and confessed.
It sounds like this person is not a bad person at all.
But Hikawa Shogo immediately exposed Yamao Keisuke's words, "At that time, he owed a lot of gambling debts to underground money lenders, which made his life a mess. The court convicted him of speeding, drunk driving, and hit-and-run, and his driver's license was suspended at the time. All these things added up, and he was finally freed this summer."
Suzuki Sonoko suddenly realized something when she heard this and said, "So it was when Mr. Yamao was serving his sentence..."
"We have just decided to build a reservoir, and the whole village has been submerged by the reservoir." Muto Takehiko continued.
Tachihara Fuyumi also spoke up at this time: "Yamao's grandmother fell ill due to the shock of her grandson's incident and passed away not long after."
"So she doesn't have time to move to the new village?" asked Mao Lilan.
"Yes." Tachihara Fuyumi nodded.
Hikawa Shogo smiled with a hint of sarcasm when he heard this, and said to Yamao Keisuke, "But the worst thing is that the victim killed by this guy was actually Mizuki's 18-year-old sister, Natsuki."
Aoki Matsu rolled his eyes in his heart when he heard this.
[He was so smart to tear someone else's wounds in front of others. No wonder he was killed. ]
Qing Mu Song didn't even want to save this guy anymore.
You are such a mean person.
But the others were shocked when they heard this and subconsciously looked at Toono Mizuki.
"Eh?!"
Toono Mizuki was very sad when he heard this, and after a while he spoke: "Yamao, I still can't forgive you."
"Speaking of being unforgivable, I am the same." Muto Takehiko couldn't help but look at Hikawa Shogo who was laughing at Yamao Keisuke's distress and said, "Hikawa, when we first talked about building a reservoir, your family immediately agreed with both hands, and even sold the replacement land at a high price and moved to Tokyo without any regrets. I really can't forgive your family."
"Muto." Hikawa Shogo looked at Muto Takehiko speechlessly after hearing that.
"You were the one who asked my parents to do this." Muto Takehiko said to Hikawa Shogo angrily, "You betrayed our precious hometown! Do you know what you did?"
"Humph!" Hikawa Shangwu sneered, "To live in this world, you have to know how to adapt to the situation."
Maori Kogoro suddenly said at this time: "Okay, I think we have talked enough, let's go back to the room."
"That's true!" Dr. Agasa also said, "Let's not disturb you any more."
"Everyone, let's go back to our rooms." Aoki Matsu also spoke up.
Mao Lilan also said: "I am sorry to bother you all." Then she left with the little ones.
Aoki Matsu also left.
After listening to the conversation between several people, he now fully understood what was going on.
Yamao Keisuke was unable to pay off his gambling debts to an underground bank, so he took the risk of robbing. Unexpectedly, he succeeded in the robbery, but on the way home he killed someone. In order not to expose the fact that he was the robber, he drove home first, hid the stolen jewelry at home, and then turned himself in.
Originally, Yamao Keisuke had a good idea, that is, he would go home to settle the debt after serving his sentence. However, he did not expect that after he was imprisoned, his home would be built into a reservoir. Of course, he was not happy about it, but he was in prison and could do nothing but watch his home become a reservoir.
He was not released from prison until this summer. After his release, Yamao Keisuke was unwilling to let the jewels that caused him to spend eight years in prison just lie quietly under the reservoir, so he came up with the idea of blowing up the reservoir.
Governor Asakura's side was just a decoy of Yamao Keisuke.
It is not known when Yamao Keisuke installed the explosives on the reservoir dam, but it should have been in the past two days. After all, the amount of explosives needed to blow up the reservoir dam is not a small amount. It would take a lot of time for him to go up there alone, and he would have to hide so as not to be discovered.
As for Hikawa Shogo, Aoki Matsu was not sure whether he was killed by Yamao Keisuke because he knew about Yamao Keisuke's robbery and threatened him, or because he was just a bad mouth.
Qing Musong thought about it and came up with an idea.
Anyway, it is impossible to let Yamao Keisuke really blow up the reservoir and let Conan experience the feeling of almost dying.
Although Aoki Matsu would adjust Conan from time to time, he still didn't want Conan to die.
After all, as long as Conan is alive, Aoki Matsu can achieve immortality in another form. Who knows what consequences will be caused by killing Conan!
So no matter how hard it is to adjust, Conan's life must be saved.
The next day, Aoki Matsu and Aihara Yoji went to the reservoir. After showing their criminal evidence, they were accompanied by staff to visit the reservoir inside and out.
But no bomb was found.
It seems that Yamao Keisuke has not had time to install explosives in the reservoir.
Qing Musong told the staff of the reservoir to be vigilant in the next few days and not allow anyone other than staff to enter the reservoir, even if they are villagers from Kitanozawa Village. If someone rushes in, call the police immediately or notify him to come over.
Although the staff at the reservoir felt that Aoki Matsu was making a big deal out of nothing, they still agreed when they heard about the bomb on the Tokyo subway.
Then Aoki Matsu and Aihara Yoji walked back.
As soon as the two of them walked back, they heard the cheers of a few little ones.
"It's snow, it's snow!" Ayumi said excitedly.
"That's great." Sayuri agreed.
"Let's have a snowball fight!" Mitsuhiko suggested.
Yuan Tai was very excited when he heard this and said, "That's great."
"Conan, Ai, come here soon!" Ayumi is always the one who pays the most attention to Conan.
Conan didn't want to play with these little brats, so he said, "I'll just forget it."
But they were soon "attacked" by the four little ones. Not only Conan, but also Haibara Ai was "attacked".
"Hahaha, we hit it, we hit it." The four little ones all laughed happily.
"Damn it." Conan was not a man who would admit defeat. He immediately made a snowball and chased after the four little ones.
"Ah, they're chasing us." Seeing this, the four children hurriedly ran forward.
"Run away quickly." Yuantai said.
But the place is so small, there is no escape.
Then the four little ones VS Conan and Haibara Ai.
Although Conan and Haibara Ai were outnumbered, they were able to fight the four little ones on equal terms.
